It doesn't matter how you do it. By cheapest, I mean that for any given amount of reduction, it could be achieved via a green tax shift at far less cost to society.

Reply #17 - Apr 24^th, 2007 at 11:41am Do you think the plan with the least cost to the economy per unit of emissions reductions is good or bad? Are you having trouble getting your login to work?

If you don't believe it you are welcome to try to discredit it, or find an economist who can discredit it. http://www.ozpolitic.com/green-tax-shift/green-tax-shift.html

Scaly Ex Member	Re: Climate Change: Who cares? Reply #22 - Apr 24^th, 2007 at 12:33pm I'm not looking to discredit anything. I like to keep an open mind but citing your own penned work is subjective rather than objective which is what I asked for.

It's kind of hard to cite an undergraduate course. I'll dig up my Law and Economics textbook for you if you want.

Wetter north only temporary: Flannery
Reply #26 - Jun 15^th, 2007 at 12:56pm

http://www.smh.com.au/news/breaking-news/wetter-north-only-temporary-flannery/2007/06/14/1181414456995.html

Australia should forget about moving people and agriculture to the country's north because the increased rainfall there won't last, scientist Tim Flannery says.

The Australian of the Year says people instead should learn to live in a permanently drier climate.

"Computer models indicate that the increased rainfall is most likely caused by the Asian haze, which has pushed the monsoon south," Professor Flannery wrote in the latest issue of New Scientist magazine.

"This means that as Asia cleans up its air, Australia is likely to lose its northern rainfall.

The federal government's $10 billion national water plan includes an investigation into the potential for land and water development in northern Australia.

The task force is led by Liberal senator Bill Heffernan, who believes the north could become the food bowl of Australia and Asia.

Seriously, am I the only one in the whole of Australia that couldn't give a rats @ss about climate change?

Im not worried either. The world has been through climate change many times.
I think everyone is over reacting, the ice caps are melting naturally, Try this- Put an ice cube into a glass of water, watch how slowly it melts and notice, that as it gets towards the end of melting how fast it melts. We are still coming out of the last ice age. its ending.
